Living in the Boneyard

by Noble Baycar

Overview

This is a short story that attempts to remove the veil of looking at our social history in snips, bites or pieces. Histories especially veiled to have no connections... an extreme case of cognizant dissonance. They are especially connective with our own familial and cultural norms, prodigiously contributing to the outcomes of our lives. Maybe it is time for honesty, for us all to consider who has gained the most. Who has fed the lies to the rest of us? Let's try to unveil some truth before we end up at each others throats again? We are entrenched in blaming only the 'other' for everything. How many more Shiloh's? Civil War battles? How many more World War's must humanity endure? Can the elite stop and say how much is enough? Believe me, once in the bone yard there is no escape. Money will not buy back your health or your way out of the bone yard.

About the Author

Noble Baycar is a no one special. No special accolades are needed. Yet Noble is someone like everyone.

The author is an individual born and raised during an ignominious era of Separate But Equal… (1896 to 1964) more than the author’s current life’s years. Having endured some 68 years of unusualness’ and dejure disadvantages. How would you characterize the zeitgeist Noble was raised in? The author is someone who saw their mother make the ultimate sacrifices… going without some of the most basics needs: a raincoat, shoes, a winter jacket, just so that she could give them to her seven children.

Noble is someone who kept a promise to a dying father, while he lamented and confided his life ambition was that he wanted to send his children to better schools. He could not afford to do so. Noble said, “Daddy, you did the best you could and I promise you, I will finish college. Therefore having kept that promise and was the first in the family to do so, followed by a niece who did even better, and the youngest sibling… a sister who also finished college; not the ivy league colleges hoped for, but nonetheless it was a promise kept.” Noble is someone who loves the sounds of a Chopin nocturne.

And yet, Noble realizes none of this was enough. Noble Baycar wishes other families will come to accept the truth about the values of a great society. Noble wishes that the greatest society in the world, one in which most would not trade for any other, could be more straightforward in seeing ourselves as a culture. We have all (society, family, and individualism) played our parts on the stage like the Shakespearean mask of tragedy, comedy and unfortunately Faust. We can’t afford to continue to point fingers entirely to one group or groups if we intend to endure.

Editorial Reviews

Noble Baycar is a thought provoking, controversial, and interesting writer. Noble makes interesting correlations and interweaves the most salient historical moments in history, into the narrative history of their life. While Noble's work is not for the faint of heart, it challenges the reader to think about how the individual is shaped by the history and mood of the society around them. This personal narrative takes its reader back through history and into the life of an American home,
